Since the mid-1980s, the public sectors of Western countries have undergone major change as governments try to respond to the challenges of technological change, globalization, and international competitiveness. This book provides an introduction to, and assessment of, the theories and principles of the new public management and compares and contrasts these with the traditional model of public administration. The second edition maintains the same essential argument as the first edition but updates it in several areas. Events since the writing of the first edition have shown even more clearly that a major shift has been underway in the management of the public sectors around the world, although the pace of change is greater in some countries than in others. Also, a new chapter has been added to discuss the particular problems of public management in developing countries.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This text introduces and assesses the principles and theories underlying changes in the scope and management of the public sector. The earlier, traditional model of public administration dominant for most of the 20th century is argued to be discredited. Newer public management models are being adopted all over the world and the basis, nature and dimensions of these as well as their theoretical underpinnings are considered in detail. The second edition of this text is revised and updated throughout with the addition of a new chapter on public management in developing countries.

In recent years there has been a transformation in the management of the public sector. The rigid, bureaucratic form of public administration which dominated for most of the 20th century has been replaced by a flexible, market-based form of public management. Public Management and Administration introduces and assesses the principles and theories underlying changes in the management of the public sector. Systematically revised and updated throughout, the third edition of this highly successful text includes an entirely new chapter on the impact of e-governance and expanded coverage of financial and performance management.
